sustainability is rapidly changing the face of nyu, the largest private university in the us, a community of 50,000 students, faculty and staff embedded in the heart of new york city. nyu’s climate action plan is a comprehensive strategy which seeks to engage the whole university community in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as effectively and rapidly as possible.

through a ‘silver buckshot’ approach — including a new, high-efficiency cogeneration power plant, the city’s first free bike-sharing program, rapid expansion of ‘living laboratory’ teaching and research efforts, and programs such as green grants and a sustainability task force designed to harness the distributed grassroots power of our community — nyu has already reduced global warming pollution by 33% in five years…

and we won’t stop until we reach our goal under the american college and university presidents climate commitment (acupcc) to achieve climate neutrality by 2040!

keeping cool in the community //www.getitdoneaz.com/story/keeping-cool-in-the-community/ mon, 10 oct 2011 13:31:47 +0000 http://dpetrov.2create.studio/planet/wordpress/keeping-cool-in-the-community/ district energy systems distribute thermal energy (steam, hot water, and/or chilled water) through a network of underground pipes to multiple buildings in an area, such as a downtown district, college or hospital campus, airport, or military base. by aggregating the heating and air conditioning supply for multiple buildings, district energy systems optimize thermal energy efficiency. they also achieve economies of scale that allow for the use of low-carbon, cost-effective thermal energy sources—such as the “waste” heat from power plants or industrial processes, combined heat and power, geothermal energy, deep lake water, or municipal solid waste and other types of biomass—that may not be feasible for individual buildings. more information is available here.
